Or the Dash Diet, which is very similar. High on vegetables, dairy and whole grains and low on sugars, refined starches, meats. You can go all vegetarian or mix in some fish or chicken once in a while. Both of these diets have a good track record for weight loss and maintenance. It's something you can stay on for life!
